Into the Valley of Death

Okay, let me see if I understand this correctly. The November 7 election was widely seen as a rejection of BushCheney's neo-con fantasy of regime change that has created chaos and violence in Iraq. Yet these same neo-cons are now urging more of the same. Like a gambler who keeps looking for that one big win, the neo-cons are upping the ante claiming that THIS time they'll get it right. More informed observers than I seriously doubt their claim. So why on god's greeen earth aren't Americans screaming at their representatives to smack down these armchair generals who are so willing to send Americans and Iraqis to their deaths?

It's enough to make me think William Westmoreland has returned from the grave, promising light at the end of the tunnel.
